作业：

1）这家消费品公司的战略从国内市场转移到了国外市场。

2）场景:

昨天看到Fitzgerald 的The Sensible Thing里有一句：There was nothing changed——only everthing was changed.

描述的是当男主角衣锦还乡，回到青春时期的前女友的家门口。

我决定改写这句话，用于以下场景(源于网络：我们不需要知道电子游戏是什么，它会不会造成近视，它会不会上瘾，我们只需要一个背锅侠，一个可以掩盖家庭教育失败、学校教育失败、社会教育失败的东西，现在它叫游戏，十五年前它是早恋，三十年前它是偶像，三十五年前它是香港电影，四十年前它是武侠小说)：

什么都变了，但是什么也都没变。这是一个掩盖家庭与学校教育失败的完美借口，从以前的早恋、香港电影、武侠小说、电视，变成现在的电子游戏。

Everthing was changed ——Only there was nothing changed.This is a perfect excuse for covering the failure of family and school education, shifted from early love、Hongkong movies、martial arts novels、televisions in the past to video games nowadays.
